Ghoul: From Being Sentenced to Death

Huiqi left the fifth district the next day and headed for the 24th district. This time, she did not drive herself but took a bus all the way to the 23rd district.

The 23rd and 24th districts were surrounded by high walls. CCG built them to prevent the ghouls in the 24th district from running out and attacking Quekulia. However, under the leadership of Takatsuki Izumi, there was no substantial thoroughfare.

When she reached the edge of the 23rd district, Huiqi took a small path to the 24th district.

Although it was only at the edge of the 24th district, the ground under her feet gave Huiqi a soft feeling, just like stepping on sand.

‘It's really disgusting. Hui Qi showed a disgusted expression on her face. The last time she went to the 24th district by plane, she really didn't expect that the land would be like this.

Enduring the mental discomfort, Hui Qi spent a lot of time walking to the base a few years ago.

Now, many of the old buildings have collapsed and damaged, and the sight is a mess. Recalling the blurred intersection, Hui Qi followed the direction that Arima Kisho had taken.

The entrance is still the same as it was a few years ago, without any changes, but the color is darker now, closer to stone.

The first floor is still an underground building, storing many basic building materials.

On the second floor, the red light is slightly bright, the building materials disappear, and some scattered house fragments appear.

On the third floor, Hui Qi's eyes are vigilant and look around. It was on the third floor that she started to encounter various ghouls.

The atmosphere around is very calm, and there is no special change. The only difference may be that there are not so many ghouls.

Suddenly, a strange sound came, like stepping on stones, making a creaking sound.

Hui Qi instantly became alert, staring at the source of the sound. There was no room for carelessness in the underground 24th area, and this was also where the One-Eyed King was.

However, the strange sound stopped, and the people in the dark seemed to dare not move again.

‘Don't move?' Hui Qi smiled coldly, pointed the Quinque in his hand at the corner, and the tip of the gun gathered lightning.

"Three seconds, or you will die."

Even so, no one and no ghoul appeared, as if the subtle sound just now was just an illusion.

However, Huiqi's hearing was at the semi-human level, and he was sure that there was something over there.......2......1

"Wait!"

Hurry footsteps came from behind.

Hui Qi stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at the person running towards him.

A short-haired woman, short stature, with proud breasts.

"A ghoul?"

"Human? Investigator?"The woman showed her kagune eyes and kagune, ready to attack.

There was no further communication. The moment the kagune was revealed, Huiqi swung her spear and slashed horizontally.

Rip!

The kagune was torn like a piece of white paper, unable to resist Huiqi's attack at all.

Seeing this, Huiqi held back to prevent killing the other party directly. This time he needed to lead the way, instead of just killing as last time.

The tip of the spear made a blood hole in the other party's kagune to prevent him from using the kagune again.

"Residents of District 24?" Huiqi squatted down and looked at the short-haired woman in front of him.

But the woman only stared at Huiqi with resentful eyes and had no intention of answering Huiqi's questions.

Just when Huiqi's attention was attracted, a little girl appeared behind her, and her knives aimed at Huiqi's arm holding the gun.

However, Huiqi did not even look back. Feeling the changes in the wind around her body, she was sure that there was someone behind her, and the other party was targeting her knife-holding arm. She raised her arm slightly, and the handle of the gun suddenly hit the abdomen of the little girl behind her.

With a cry of pain, the little girl covered her abdomen and retreated again and again, and finally sat on the ground

"Are you a resident of District 24? I can consider not killing you."

Hui Qi pointed the tip of the gun at the little girl's head, with a very cold look in his eyes.

The woman's face hesitated, and her eyes frequently looked at the little girl over there.

"......yes....We are residents of District 24"

"It would have been better if you said no earlier. Hui Qi put away Quinque and held the little girl in one hand.

"you...Are you an investigator?"

""I guess so." Hui Qi answered ambiguously. Maybe after a while, he would no longer be an investigator.

"That girl is from the Three Blades Clan. You'd better let her go. Their clan leader is a very strong ghoul."

"Three blades? An underground family?"

Hui Qi smiled and put the child on the ground.

"Yes, what are you going to do? If you have nothing to do, please go back. Humans are not welcome underground. The woman immediately refused.

"There is something very important, and we must find some underground families, so you have to lead me....It's better not to refuse."

Hui Qi said with a wry smile.

"Don't regret it, there are many ghouls in the underground, and you will die miserably!"

"Don't waste time, lead the way."

Huiqi followed the two people all the way down, and turned away from the original road. Huiqi could feel that he was going deeper and deeper, and the air was getting humid and stuffy.

There were still many ghouls on the road looking at the three people, so Huiqi Quinque had to keep the same form, with three heads on the tip of the gun.

With these three heads, the situation was better. The surrounding ghouls only looked at them with fear.

"How far is it?"

"Immediately."

Seeing this, Hui Qi threw the head off the tip of the gun and walked the last distance.

Three minutes later......

Huiqi arrived at the underground city.

Everywhere he looked, there were houses and buildings. These houses were all made of mud. Children and adults could be seen faintly on the streets.

However, Huiqi was facing hundreds of eyes with only one eye. The smell of living people had already attracted many ghouls.

"Chimura Eri, what are you doing? Why did you bring the investigator here?"

A male ghoul looked at Hui Qi with a fierce look in his eyes.

"He came along himself......"

"Tell me about the One-Eyed King."

At this moment, Hui Qi finally revealed his purpose.

"One-eyed king? I don't know."The man's eyes changed, and he hesitated for a second before speaking.

Swish!

A bloody hole appeared in the man's chest.

"You can't even lie? If you don't want to tell the truth, just go and die." Hui Qi shook off the blood on the tip of the gun, his eyes full of disdain.

"Speak out now and you will live. If you can't, I will kill you one by one, ghouls."

"Bastard!"

Bang!

The next second, Quinque shot a golden lightning through it, nailing its body to the wall.

"Speak or die, I don't have time to play with you underground ghouls"

"Stop, I...I'll take you to see the old leader."

Qiancun Eri's face turned pale and she stopped Huiqi's actions with a trembling voice.

"If you had told me earlier, the ghoul wouldn't have died." Hui Qi replied coldly.

The two walked into the street. There were many ghouls standing in the houses on both sides. Their eyes were filled with worry, anxiety, and fear.

"They are just civilians....Don't do anything, the old chief has what you want."
